I barely played games over summer at all. Completely lost interest. I still haven't finished Zelda, Metroid or RE0 as a result of this.

In fact, until Soul Calibur 2 came out, I didn't feel the urge to play anything at all. Now though when I look at the lists of what's on it's way, I'm eager to play new games again.

To name a few, Viewtiful Joe, FIFA2004 and Mario Kart will probably keep me busy.

Was there really nothing of worth released over Summer, or was it just me?

I didn't get any games in the summer. Nothing worth getting for about three or so months.
Now, in the last few weeks I've got KotoR, Soul Calibur 2, Tiger Woods 2004, then in the next few days and weeks there's PES3, Max Payne 2, Viewtiful Joe, Rebel Strike, Mario Kart, F-Zero etc.

Summer games drought = bad.
Too many great games in the run up to Christmas = also bad, though in a very different way (too many games, not enough time).

Everyone has this urge to "play" during the summer and they do. People go outside and enjoy themselves. Most people never pick up a controller for the whole summer.

I just played one of my old demos and enjoyed all the game so much i bought some of 'em from ebay. I completed MGS a few weeks ago aswell... I'm getting back to my gaming self again.
